Ways to search this forum for problems/solutions(Or anything else you might need to search for )

1st:
[and probably least liked, sorry JohnM] the Search button at the top of the forum pages
You can set parameters/Options to make this targeted, for example to, Search post title only, or Search HOW TO (Solutions)

Tips:
The actual forum search doesn't search very old posts, so you have to use one of the other searches.
The actual forum search doesn't search for words with less than 4 characters, so you have to add an * if you need to search for 3 letter words.
BUT
The actual forum search is still valuable as it is the only one that can display results in a logical order (e.g. by date), and that has advanced search abilities like searching by author - or am I wrong about this?_________________If you have or know of a good gtkdialog application, please post a link here

Additionally, you can click on somebody's profile and then you will see a link that will show a list of every post that user has made. Handy when you know who made a recent post but don't remember where.

If you go to the forum index, at the top right there is a link which will show all of your own posts. You can also access this by clicking your profile link from a post, as above. It doesn't work from the profile link at the top of the forum though.

There may be some issues with the forums search - I looked for a topic with 'firewall' in the title that I know exists (since found it again cause I remembered who wrote it and checked their past posts), but the search wouldn't return it in three different ways of asking (all forums, past 3 months; all forums + keyword; beginners (the forum it is in) + keyword in title).
